Dr. Jason Thompson is doing my surgery. I live in Washington State. He seems very confident and seems to know his stuff. Seems as though you're doing your research! Mine is coming up on the 12th, so everything will be fresh in my head if you have any questions :-)

I think you know mine, but I'll chime in.
March 18th, Dr. Clavel, Barcelona, Spain. M6 at C 4-5 through c 6-7, and at L 4-5 and 3-4. Still waiting to hear if we fuse L5-S1 or if we will put an m6 in there. Yep. Six levels. Cuz I'm hard-core like that.

Yeah. It's going to be pretty epic! On a side note, I was thinking about our grappling video. We could start it with something like "Can you tell which one of these Martial Artists have Artificial Discs in their spine?" The at the end of the video we reveal that we BOTH have artificial discs in our spine and where they are. What do you think?!
